MISSING WITH A FORTUNE.
Thomas b. McManus Mysterious,
ly Disappears After Sci
ling His Property.

New York, June l4-W. L. Lippmann,
lawyer residing at No. 32I West Tween
ty-eighth street, last night called at police
headquarters and reported the disappear.
ance of Thomas B. McManus, a wealthy
real estate dealer, living in the same
house. Mr.. Lippman, who claims to be
counsel for Mrs. McManus, said that the
missing man had been for several weeks
past disposing of his property. When last
seen, Wednesday, he was supposed to have
between $4,000 and $4,000 in his posses
sion. On that day, also, it was discovered
he had packed a travelling trunk with
some of his best apparel and q fowling
piece and had it removed from The house.
As he had said nothing to his wife about
making trip, she did not think any
toing serious abount the circumstance un-
til he failed to come home that night or
next day. Then search was instituted
among all their relatives and acquain-
tsnces, but all in vain.
The hotels and ciubs-he being q menu
Der of a couple of the latter-were also
and as last resort the wife dele
gated Lawyer Lippman to ask the police to
aid in the search. Mrs. McManus said
last night that her husband had been act
ing strangely of late, and she was appre-
hensive that he was temporarily demented.
1t had not occurred to them that perhaps
McManus had gone abroad by one of the
steamers since Wednesday,
and therefore they neglected to search
among the steamship Offices, which will be
done tomorrow, if he should not mean
while turn up.
A general alarm was sent out from
for the man. He is thirty
eight years of age and is feet 8 inches
high, and of medium build. He has a
light complexion, blonde mustache, light
hair and blue eyes. He wore q brown
mixed suit, brown derby hat and low-cut
shoes. Besides the large amount of
money he had with him a valuable dia-
mond pin and gold watch and chain.

No BAIL FOR CLARKE.
He Will Remain i'm the Plain
field Jail on the Charge
of Abducting His
Dau ghter.

Plain6eld, y. j., June l4-John Clarke
of New York. who was arrested Sunday
night for attempting to abduct his child
Isabella, was last night committed TO the
county Jail in default of $3.50 bail. The
little one kept near his cell door all day
and begged piteously to have her father re-
leased. Clarke stoutly maintained that he
is the father of Isabella and that he has
provided for her since her birth.
"This thing is killing me, said he. "The
best part of my life has been wrecked be-
cause OF this innocent little one, but am
willing to sacrifice the rest OF it for her
sake"
The chief of police went to New York
to-day, but was unable TO obtain bail for
Clarke. Mrs. Downey was first MARI led in
Ireland to Alexander Griffin, and eight
years afterwards they came to this coun-
try Clarke boarded with them in New
York and says Mrs. Griffin had four chill
dren OF which he was the father. Three
of them died and Griffin died in the re-
ception hospital of sunstroke in August,
1880. Three years after she married Will
liam DOwney, and they have lived in
Plainheld fourteen months.
Mrs. Downey claims that she made
several attempts to get possession OF the
child, hut was repulsed, and on one &C.
casion was assaulted with club by Clarke
and his sister. Clarke. she says, threatene !
to shoot her If fhe did not marry him A
lawyer named McClennan, of New York,
advised her to quietly take the child to her
home in Plainfield. Isabella refused to
own Mrs. Downey as her mother, and this
afternoon she was taken TO the Children's
Home, where she will remain until the
Court OF Chancery decides which parent
shall secure possession of her. Mrs.
Downey says she is ready to prove that
Clarke has no claim on the child.

Strikers RiOtOuS

Cleveland, O., June 10 The strike on
the ore docks of the New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio railroad eliminated in a
riot yesterday afternoon. About month
ago the men who load ore into cars at the
docks, struck for 3 day, an advance of
25c. Since then their places have been
filled by colored men from the South and
foreigners brought here from Chicago. For
a fortnight the workmen have been given
police protection, as the strikers, who are
Irish, have threatened to drive them out of
town.
This afternoon, George Vactor, a
colored porter at the Central Depot, took
Supt. OBrien, of the New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio road, his dinner to the
docks. The strikers, who had congregated
in large numbers, attacked him and,
knocking him down, beat him in a terrible
manner, and would have killed him had
they not been driven away by the police.
At the same time, John Mannion, living
on Division street started home to din
ner. He is unloading ore from the vessels
and is not striker nor "scab." He was
assaulted Just the same: however, and had
his leg broken. The police called for as
sistance and patrol wagon dashed to the
scene and the officers dispersed the mob.
The railroad company, seeing that they
would have to act quick to prevent
bloody scene. loaded their important COL
Ored men into a train, and, amidst a
shower of brick and ore, steamed away to
the suburbs. John Joyce, one of the men
who assaulted Vactor, has been arrested.
